Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)
This album has a Bayesian average rating of 70.1/100, a mean average of 68.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 68.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 20.0.

A prime example of the lighter side of cowpunk. People describe it as Johnny Cash backed by the Clash. They're not to be taken seriously but it's still a lot of fun (Check them out in old Austin city Limits clips. People are jumping around and really enjoying themselves.)
Look for a young Alejandro Escovedo on guitar. Hey, it can't be that bad, I mean Robert Christgau gave it a A-.
Track Pick: Conductor Wore Black
This was described as "country-punk". Very refreshing, but their next 2 albums disappointed.
